You’ll find hundreds of clever, buildable mechanisms, each one demonstrating a key building technique or mechanical principle.

Each model includes a list of required parts and colorful photographs that guide you through the build without the need for step-by-step instructions. As you build, you’ll explore the principles of simple machines, gear systems, power translation, and more.
